All The Things We Ever Said

It started out like a fairytale; a shy young woman meets a handsome prince and falls in love. The story of Charles and Diana turned sour and of course ended in tragedy, but thanks to the Netflix dramatisation of their lives, a new generation is getting a glimpse into their complicated love story.

So what can we learn about our own relationships from their story? As our hosts - two people from two different generations - sit down to watch The Crown two very different points of view emerge with different sympathies. If you've been taking side sides, like we have, while watching The Crown, this episode is for you.

We also talk about the bigger picture and what place the royals have in modern life. In an era of food banks and cuts to the welfare state, can we justify having a royal family that hoards so much wealth? Richard experiences cognitive dissonance as he recalls an idyllic childhood moment that fixed his idea of the royals and Izzy imagines that she can talk the queen into giving Buck palace to the people.

Can our Gen X and Gen Z agree on the future of the monarchy?

Breaking up a relationship can be heartbreaking, so is staying friends with your ex just cruel? In this episode, we look at our own experiences of being friends with past lovers and whether it can ever be a good thing.

Richard reveals how he ended up hiding under a table when a late-night exes booty call went badly wrong. And Izzy confesses her guilt trip strategy for dealing with breakups when she's the one getting dumped.

Meanwhile, after years of chaotic splits, bad blood and recriminations, Richard lays out what he learned from his past relationships and how to pull off the perfect break up.

If you've ever said "I hope we can still be friends" and especially if you've been on the receiving end of that line, then this episode is for you.

Happy (belated) Spotify wrapped up day! It’s everyone’s favourite day of the year when we can all show off our exquisite music taste or stay quiet on social media for 24 hours in shame. We unwrap our 2020 listening habits and find Izzy celebrating her improving music taste while Richard discovers that he has been listening to 5 songs on repeat since 2017. We also discuss serotonin releases due to unexpected guitar entries and a true throwback to the 80s equivalent of Spotify. Join us on this trip down memory lane and let us know how did your Spotify wrapped go - were you naughty or nice?

In our first episode, we talk about, what else but, new beginnings and why so often they are so damn difficult. What prevents us from starting something new? Fear of failure or something much deeper from within our psyche? Either way, we managed to overcome it as we're here with our podcast debut. Izzy is the resident Zoomer with an inspiring story of a new beginning but also how hard it is to commit to projects. And we find out not only how Richard thinks he nearly invented the internet, but how he also quit Facebook in one of the big cringe moments of the decade.
